New drug combo aims to control Tough-to-Treat blood cancer

NCT ID NCT03147612

Summary

This study is testing a multi-step treatment plan for adults with a specific, aggressive form of leukemia (ALL) that has come back or hasn't responded to prior therapy. The plan combines lower-intensity chemotherapy with two targeted drugs, ponatinib and blinatumomab, to attack the cancer cells. The main goal is to see if this approach can put the cancer into deep remission and control the disease for a longer time.
